Milky Way Galaxy Cast Glass

Architectural Cast Glass in the World Financial Center. The Park Hyatt Hotel in Shanghai boasts the highest hotel in the World. It is a stunning building. The building is perfect in the mysterious Shanghai night.

The entrance lobby is simple with architectural cast glass. The glass is clear with some motion in the waves and texture.

The Elevator cases have a brightly lit cast glass header. There is some beautiful Chinese modern sculpture.

We can feel that there is something special in the lobby by the sounds of the air in the elevator shaft.

Once you are in the elevator the motion is very soft. The elevator is the fastest in the world. From the first floor to the 92 floor only takes moments. The major feature is a red lantern light.

Once you reach the lobby floor for the Hotel. The first striking features are the architectural cast glass panel. The surface is a complex clear glass texture.

The face is fractured planes; the planes are organic as if they were formed deep underground. The lights are purple and from behind. The view to the outside is dramatic, with glimpses of the Jin Mao Tower below. The combination at night with mysterious fog, enveloping the Tower and the Purple refractive cast glass panels is incredible.

Reminds me of starry nights staring at the Milky Way.

The open plan exposes the core of the building. The wall decorations are mostly architectural Cast Glass panels. The Open Kitchen has White Cast Glass Panels. Enjoy the beautiful Toni Chi design at the top of the world. Contact us at East Asia Portal, Ltd for Architectural Cast Glass
